Who says you can't dress fashionable with a budget?

Often I see people brag on labels when they are still not stylish in any way of form.

Fashion may be trendy but style is what you do with it, the confidence and taste you have!

Atlanta X Experimentation X Art

This past weekend I wandered a couple of blocks from my downtown home into Castleberry Hills. A small yet pleasant and cultured part of Atlanta. Luckily, Flux Night had recreated the nightlife on this brisk evening into an evening of art, people and culture, oh and lots of drinks. 

The vibe was very eclectic and relaxed. The night was crisp and electrifying with many peculiar smells piercing the air.  From your local hipsters to Tech students savoring the weekend to adults enjoying a night on the town with friends and partners. My sister and I conquered each art gallery and even networked while absorbing the essence of Atlanta art. Very Positive.

Are You Surprised? Chris X Rihanna X Karrueche

 

It has been blatantly obvious Chris and Rihanna are getting back together or in my opinion Young, Wild, Free and in love. There was a time when they were undercover giving people, (their fans and media) a chance to get over it and apparently now they just don't give any more fruit baskets.

I have no idea what Karrueche has been doing especially after Rihanna's infamous "Cake" remix came out, after pictures of them together surfaced, Chris and Rihanna sleep overs blasted in every magazine, after the 2012 awards show where she was disrespected and ignored, hell after THE OPRAH INTERVIEW!

Leave! Be a woman about yours, always.

I'd advise any female to never be the "other woman" "third party" or "last man out" and to open your own eyes and leave before you get hurt and dumped but of course we don't know all of it. From the looks of it and after watching Chris's video you get a better perspective and it is everything I thought it was.

One of the realest moments you will probably ever see, and you can only imagine the bitterness Karrueche is feeling and confusion Chris is going through while Rihanna is there being who she is. His unofficial lover.

  "The Real Chris Brown" from on .

Ahhh that sweet pungent smell of love!

Apparently Kouche didn't see nor want to see the signs and now this media coverage is going to be crazy until the next big thing blows between the soul mates and the abandoned rebound lover.

My Clique X Like No Other

I appreciate how Kanye discusses his Mother's passing on this song. This song is also a beast regardless, Jay Z? That intro? Yeah, I love it and can relate!

My clique has been tight as rope since we met each other at Claflin University years ago and we still keep in touch. When you have a bond with people that all elevate each other, it's like magic.

We shot this photo shoot just to do it and it's been featured on fashion blogs and even reached tumblr earlier this year

***FYI: This photoshoot was 2 years ago, spot the Nik_Gold Designs accessories!

Fashion Outings on a Fall Day

Today was yet another remarkable fall day. Warm yet crisp with not a cloud in the sky.

I decided to go out with my sister and pop my Five Guys cherry, which was an experience on it's own. Especially with my A-1, Jalepeno, grilled onions loving self!

The burger was probably the perfect combination ever created and I could hardly finish. Next we walked around Edgewood boutiques, I work around Little 5 @FearlessWeirdos and wanted to try something new and the vibe of the area was similar to Garden City in New York. Below are a few snapshots of the fashion and reasonable priced treasures I found along the way!

Living downtown has made my days more exciting. Just walking outside my house I feel the energy in the air to get into something, walk down the block and learn something new. Outkast playing in my ears, Starbucks in my hand and 6" strutting.

Style 365 24/7

Fashion Night out came and went here in Atlanta. Bringing out fashionistas, models, stylist, designers and more.

I did some media coverage for @BEMagazine

Viewed H&M's Fashion Show at Atlantic Station and was invited to premiering seasonal lines of some International designers.

I enjoyed my evenings out envisioning myself in my home city of New York City, doing the same with my girls. living in the city once again. But for now Atlanta will do.

I had tons of fun and loved being around like minded people, all creative, worldly and positive. It motivates me to do more, better for now and forever.

Fashion Week isn't just one week but everyday for me!

Check out some pictures of my fashion week and some fashion videos of a few designers I admire (Nicole Miller & Herve Leger) below!
